A charitable (and, I think, reasonable) reading would be that the poster used FAANG as a representation of the overall trend in tech. FAANG are what the rest of the industry aspires to be, after all.

I rarely catch myself mirroring the speech impediment of the person I'm talking to. I even managed to get into trouble by offending a colleague. I didn't mean to!

Well, the apps have made calling a taxi easier than ever. I haven't ever called a taxi or ordered a meal by phone because of my mild social phobia, and I definitely can't even imagine doing that when drunk or high. But I use taxi apps all the time. It's super easy. That's the point.
Either way, this is an expected result of reducing/eliminating many of the (near-imperceptible) barriers to calling a taxi.
